Mock Tender Steak, Beef

The mock tender is often sold as a roast and is a cone shaped cut next to the top blade in the chuck primal. It can also be cut into steaks. The name "mock tender" is misleading because the meat is rather tough so it is best when it is braised. The mock tender steak is also known as fish steak, chuck fillet steak, chuck tender steak, shoulder tender, petite filet, tender medallions, chuck clod tender, and shoulder petite tender.
